ddr3 on lga 1366

[Starage]

Hello

The max speed I can get is 1973 on the memory.
What limits this the ram, cpu or the ram.

I am running a 930, the BCLK is at 164. Ram 2:12 for 1973.
I am using an Asus rampage II extreme.
The memory is Crucial 2133.

I have some Kingston 2000 coming and a 950.

Is multi still at 20 ?
Whats QPI at ?

QPI is what usaly limmits a 1366.
If your stable I would leave it alone.

its kingda tough getting that board to do 2000mhz
new cpu or ram not gonna help much
you better off concentration on gettin ca6 as high as you can or get another board
too much qpi droop on the rampage II
concentrate getting you cpu @ highest speed

Thanks. I have found high ddr3 is wrong thing to do on 1366.
I did get up to 2000mhz, but qpi voltage needed is way too high.
I have some Mushkin Redline Ascent 3x2GB PC3-12800 ca6 = :)
Yes a higher clock speed and lower ram speed works much better.

You should join the HWC folding team, you have the rigs to do it!

those newer 1366 CPU doesn't have the best IMC for running high freqency, because yes 2000mhz is high on this platform. Unlike p55/p67
also keep in mind that the imc is on the cpu not the mobo, so different cpu will handle high mhz better than some. The mobo is not out of the equation, but it all starts with the imc on the cpu

I have no idea what folding does. Or even what it is.

Yes the 930 that I have is able to do better than the 950.

You don't have to fold - something or nothing may happen if you do or don't though.
